What are the major and minor products of the attached structure

The image appears to depict a chemical reaction involving benzene with an acid catalyst, HCl (hydrochloric acid). The diagram shows:

1. **Benzene Structure**: On the left side, a hexagonal ring represents the structure of benzene with two dashed lines, indicating partial resonance or intermediate bonds during a reaction process.

2. **HCl**: An arrow pointing to the right signifies the addition of hydrochloric acid to the benzene structure.

3. **Major and Minor Products**: To the right of the arrow, the words "major" and "minor" likely indicate that the reaction yields predominantly one product (major) over another less abundant product (minor) following the reaction with HCl.

This setup is likely explaining the electrophilic aromatic substitution or another reaction mechanism involving benzene and an acid catalyst leading to different isomers or types of substitution products.
